Chapter 10

"Yes." Charlos agreed, took two pairs of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs from the Slave of God's storage, and threw them onto the Germa 66 ship, telling Reiju and Yonji to lock their own hands.

Reiju and Yonji looked at each other, both hesitating.

The handcuffs were one thing, but the special collars were somewhat insulting.

Seeing that Reiju and Yonji were slow to act, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and took out his Swordsman Card, ready to activate it at any moment.

"Do it."

Seeing the fierce glint in Lin Yu's eyes and glancing at the Celestial Dragon Charlos, who was also wearing a special collar, Reiju was the first to lock herself in the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs and the special collar; Yonji followed suit immediately after.

"You come aboard; everyone else, stay on the Germa 66."

"Wait for your father to come and pay the ransom."

Pointing at Reiju, Lin Yu announced his decision.

"Listen to him."

Seeing that the opponent only wanted her as a hostage, Reiju told Yonji and boarded the Slave of God voluntarily.

In her view, this was the best possible outcome.

Once Reiju was on board, Lin Yu steered the Slave of God away from the Germa 66 ship.

By snatching Reiju, his plan was half-successful; the rest just required waiting for Judge to arrive and then "negotiating" with him.

"What are you looking at!"

"If you look again, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Seeing Reiju staring at her after boarding, Charlos felt embarrassed and angry.

Thinking of how she, a noble World Noble Celestial Dragon, had now become someone else's maid and slave, Charlos felt a surge of anger and resentment.

However, when Lin Yu's gaze turned toward her, Charlos lowered her head immediately, her resentment and anger vanishing, leaving only fear.

Because Charlos knew very well that in Lin Yu's heart, her status on the ship was the lowest, not even comparable to Anna's—at least Anna didn't have to wear a special slave collar.

And she also knew that Lin Yu despised Celestial Dragons; if she provoked him, she would definitely die a miserable death.

Seeing Lin Yu make the Celestial Dragon Charlos behave with just a single look, Reiju couldn't help but be shocked.

As the eldest princess of the Germa Kingdom, Reiju naturally understood the noble status of the World Noble Celestial Dragons and the consequences of provoking them.

Thinking of how Lin Yu was so crazy that he dared to kill Celestial Dragons, Reiju immediately equated him with a madman and decided to obey his arrangements as much as possible.

It was better not to provoke such a madman.

Withdrawing his gaze from Charlos, Lin Yu looked at the pink-haired Reiju and smiled:

"Miss Reiju, do you know where the Germa Kingdom is currently located?"

"Could you help point out the direction?"

Waiting for Germa to come to him was a waste of time, so he planned to take the initiative.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Reiju nodded and agreed to his request.

Because his thoughts coincided with hers.

Pointing in a direction, Reiju said quickly:

"If you sail in this direction for half a day, you will see it." ===== CHAPTER 21 =====

On the sea.

The location of the Germa Kingdom.

Bang!

"What did you say?"

"Reiju and Yonji were captured?"

Hearing the news from the communication soldier, Vinsmoke Judge slammed his fist onto the desk, furious.

Daring to capture Reiju and Yonji—did they really think the title "Army of Evil" for Germa 66 was just for show?

"My lord, according to the news transmitted back."

"The person who captured Miss Reiju and Young Master Yonji seems to be the God-Slayer Lin Yu, who recently appeared in the North Blue, with a bounty as high as 1.5 billion."

"Moreover, the opponent possesses a giant ship with extreme speed and powerful firepower."

Hearing the soldier's words, Judge was startled; he hadn't expected it to be this person.

The incident of the God-Slayer Lin Yu killing a Celestial Dragon had recently caused a huge stir in the North Blue, and the Marines had even dispatched an Admiral and countless Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals to the North Blue to capture him.

This had caused all the pirate crews in the North Blue to either go into hiding or flee frantically toward the Grand Line.

In short, because of this person's appearance, the North Blue had suddenly become calm.

For a time, many ordinary citizens in the North Blue who had been troubled by pirates actually began to feel grateful to Lin Yu.

Thinking of Lin Yu's fearsome reputation, Judge frowned and instructed the communication soldier:

"Go call Ichiji and Niji."

"Then order all Germa soldiers to enter wartime status."

Although Lin Yu's strength was great, his Germa Kingdom was no pushover.

If Lin Yu handed over Reiju and Yonji, it would be fine; if he refused, Judge was prepared to let him taste the power of the Germa Kingdom's scientific combat troops!

On the other side.

On the Slave of God.

Lin Yu went to the hull to check the amount of coal and cannonballs on the ship.

They might have a naval battle with Germa later, so he had to be prepared.

On the deck, Reiju looked at the empty Slave of God, then at Anna and Charlos, and asked suspiciously:

"Why don't I see anyone else on this ship?"

"Because there are only the three of us on this ship."

Anna looked at Reiju vigilantly and spoke.

Because the task Lin Yu had given her and Charlos now was to watch Vinsmoke Reiju.

Charlos looked at Reiju from the side, thought for a moment, and asked directly:

"Why did you surrender so easily just now?"

"We only had three people..."

As the person who most hoped for Lin Yu to be captured, this was the question that puzzled her the most.

In Charlos's view, Vinsmoke's snail ship was not small and carried many soldiers, while they only had three people—no, it should be said, only Lin Yu alone; the opponent really didn't need to surrender.

"It seems you don't understand his strength."

Reiju smiled upon hearing this and handed the newspaper in her hand to Charlos.

"A bounty of 1.5 billion!"

Anna, standing nearby, exclaimed upon seeing the headline in the newspaper.

Both she and Charlos had been on the second floor at the time and hadn't seen Lin Yu in action, so they didn't fully understand his strength, only knowing he was very strong.

Now, seeing Lin Yu's bounty of 1.5 billion, they finally had a basic concept.

"1.5 billion, this is the bounty level of a Four Emperors' First Mate."

"Plus, he seems to have the ability to control ships; with the cooperation of this ship, there are not many people on the sea who can steadily defeat him."

"Lady Charlos, as the original owner of this ship, you should know the terrifying aspects of this vessel, right?"

Seeing that Anna and Charlos didn't seem to understand this, Reiju explained, and at the end, she glanced at Charlos.

By now, she had guessed that Lin Yu's giant ship had been snatched from the Celestial Dragons.

And which Celestial Dragon it was snatched from went without saying.

Hearing this, Charlos looked bitter.

As Rosward's daughter, she naturally knew the situation of the ship beneath her feet, and she knew how many modifications her father had added and how many Berries he had spent.

This ship was not only converted from the largest Marine warship, but it also had many of the latest technologies developed by the Marines and Vegapunk added to it.

The dual power of sails and steam made this ship's speed far exceed other warships.

And the giant heavy cannons equipped on the ship far exceeded other cannons in both range and power; there were a hundred such giant cannons on just one side of this ship.

Ordinary ships couldn't even withstand a single broadside.

Father, I really have been ruined by you.

After seeing Lin Yu's ability to control the ship, Charlos actually knew that she probably wouldn't be able to escape his clutches. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
